ESC: Volunteering at Blåkilde Efterskole

We are an independent boarding school for young people between the age of 14 to 18. At our school students can choose to spend one or two years finishing their primary education, and as a boarding school we deal with both the educational and personal development of the students. Apart from the mandatory subjects we offer a varied range of optional subjects in the field of sport, art, music, drama and outdoor. Moreover, we have a range of alternative subject weeks at the school, where the activities that take place are different than normal. Among others we facilitate: travel week, musical week, arts and crafts week, internship week, project week and two weeks with midterms. Apart from that we also host and attend various sports shows and events. Blåkilde Efterskole is grounded on a Christian view of humanity which is the fundament of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Denmark. Blåkilde wishes to create openness and knowledge on Christianity with re-spect to the individual student’s standpoint. The school emphasizes, that the individual student will be challenged professionally in an environment that is build on recognition, trust and joint responsibility. Blåkilde Efterskole wishes to give the students the courage to engage in the school’s community through education, experiences and action and not least engage in the society that they are part of. Further, the school wants to encourage the students to a healthy lifestyle by offer them physical activi-ties.
